[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4281116, member: 45785"] I've never been to a high school reunion for my class of 1973. Pretty big school. IIRC about 5K students, my class about 1-1.2k. I failed every class but one, got a D in that. Showed up. Read a book. Not for class. Didn't do a lick of homework but aced all quizzes & tests. Got my attitude adjusted and moved to a very small high school in Western Colorado. Only stayed two years but busted my hump got B's & C's sophisticated year, A's & B's junior year, and moved back to Cali, same HS for senior year. Mostly A's. Still graduated with a 1.78gpa. Almost 50 of my classmates had F averages. Their diploma was as good as mine. Didn't attend graduation. Have no idea what happened to any of my classmates. Looked at an online copy of the yearbook. I'm not in it. Only recognized a few names. Was only one girl I remember, and she was so gorgeous I knew I had no chance. So no point at all. Not to mention I've been married twice. I'm apparently pretty stubborn. 1st marriage lasted 8 years. The good marriage started about 6 weeks after the first ended. In less than three months we'll have been married 42 years. If we both last that long. She's chronically ill, & depressed. I'm trying to get her health care that will help with the multiple illnesses, and do some stuff, or at least encourage the other to do, stuff that might improve her life & enjoyment thereof... Got issuse of my own, of course. 😀 [/QUOTE]
